Dharma Home Suites is now the first company in the United States to become part of Airbnb's Professional Co-host management program and as such, it is launching its first Airbnb-Friendly Building.
Airbnb outlines that Airbnb-Friendly Buildings help to increase transparency, offer greater home-sharing terms and have the potential to attract residents who see the ability to share their home as an amenity. As a Professional Co-Host, Dharma Home Suites' listings benefit from increased traffic and bookings, with both building owners and residents sharing the earnings from reservations.
The high-end accommodations offered at 1101 Grand in Hoboken, New Jersey specifically appeals to people who want to host their homes as a means of offsetting the cost of rent while they travel.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Airbnb-friendly Buildings
- Creating buildings with home-sharing capabilities as an attractive amenity for residents and building owners.
- Professional Co-host Management Program
- Leveraging Airbnb's program to increase traffic and bookings for listed accommodations while sharing earnings with building owners and residents.
- Offsetting Rent Costs Through Home-hosting
- Appealing to travelers by offering high-end accommodations that allow residents to monetize their homes while they are away.
Sectors Adopting This
- Real Estate
- The trend of Airbnb-Friendly Buildings opens up new opportunities for real estate developers and property management companies to attract residents and increase rental income.
- Hospitality
- The Professional Co-host program presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for hotels and hospitality companies to tap into the home-sharing market and diversify their offerings.
- Travel
- The concept of offsetting rent costs through home-hosting creates a potential disruption in the travel industry by providing unique accommodation options for travelers.
